We want to send the signals to our muscles, blood vessels, heart and nerves that promote improvement which results in faster swimming. The better the training, the better the signal, the better the improvement. The X1-PRO is that better training!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>For Sprinters<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Sprint training mainly works to improve the nerves and buffering capacity of the swimmer. By forcing the swimmer to apply all their energy for a short period of time, all available muscles fibers need to be fired and coordinated in a controlled manner. Motor units (bunches of muscle cells controlled by the same nerve) don\u2019t usually fire all together, but are recruited one on top of the other to produce more and more power. First, the slow twitch units are recruited, then the fast ones.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_441067\" style=\"width: 817px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-441067\" data-attachment-id=\"441067\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/advanced-aquatic-resistance-training-how-the-gmx7-x1-pro-works\/gmx7-how-it-works-photo-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/GMX7-how-it-works-photo-1.png\" data-orig-size=\"807,428\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"GMX7-how-it-works-photo 1\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;GMX7-how-it-works-photo 1&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/GMX7-how-it-works-photo-1-700x428.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/GMX7-how-it-works-photo-1.png\" class=\"wp-image-441067 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/GMX7-how-it-works-photo-1.png\" alt=\"GMX7-how-it-works-photo 1\" width=\"807\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/GMX7-how-it-works-photo-1.png 807w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/GMX7-how-it-works-photo-1-280x149.png 280w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/GMX7-how-it-works-photo-1-300x159.png 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/GMX7-how-it-works-photo-1-450x239.png 450w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/GMX7-how-it-works-photo-1-150x80.png 150w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/GMX7-how-it-works-photo-1-500x265.png 500w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/GMX7-how-it-works-photo-1-533x283.png 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 807px) 100vw, 807px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-441067\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Figure 1: A graph of how many motor units are being activated at certain power levels.

What sets X1-PRO apart from other resistance tools is the ability to accurately control and quickly vary the resistance.<\/p>\n<p>Over time, the nerves \u201cdesensitize\u201d and allow more motor units to activate sooner and longer. It\u2019s like taking the safety\u2019s off your nerves.

That results in increased top speed!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Since regular sprint swimming doesn\u2019t usually activate all available muscles fibers, those fibers that are left out don\u2019t get signaled to improve and you aren\u2019t maximizing your training. The X1-PRO helps us use and train all our muscle fibers with every sprint.<\/p>\n<p>As a training session continues, more and more muscle fibers start to break and fail (which causes soreness). Having the ability to accurately control and vary the resistance from zero to immovable allows swimmers to maintain their performance throughout a set. The smooth consistent resistance also helps to mitigate injuries since there are no sudden jolts and stops that create tendinitis and ligament disruption.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_441083\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-441083\" data-attachment-id=\"441083\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/advanced-aquatic-resistance-training-how-the-gmx7-x1-pro-works\/ryan-lochte-gmx7-resistance-training-close-up-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ryan-lochte-gmx7-resistance-training-close-up-2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,643\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D850&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1579877866&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;75&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;2000&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0005&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"ryan-lochte-gmx7-resistance-training-close-up-2\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;ryan-lochte-gmx7-resistance-training-close-up-2&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Ryan Lochte using the GMX7 resistance training device; Photo Courtesy: GMX7 Training&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ryan-lochte-gmx7-resistance-training-close-up-2-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ryan-lochte-gmx7-resistance-training-close-up-2.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-441083\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ryan-lochte-gmx7-resistance-training-close-up-2.jpg\" alt=\"ryan-lochte-gmx7-resistance-training-close-up-2\" width=\"800\" height=\"643\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ryan-lochte-gmx7-resistance-training-close-up-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ryan-lochte-gmx7-resistance-training-close-up-2-249x200.jpg 249w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ryan-lochte-gmx7-resistance-training-close-up-2-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ryan-lochte-gmx7-resistance-training-close-up-2-450x362.jpg 450w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ryan-lochte-gmx7-resistance-training-close-up-2-150x121.jpg 150w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ryan-lochte-gmx7-resistance-training-close-up-2-500x402.jpg 500w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ryan-lochte-gmx7-resistance-training-close-up-2-533x428.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-441083\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ryan Lochte using the X1-PRO; Photo Courtesy: GMX7 Training<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Endurance Training<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Swimming is mainly an endurance sport, but it is unique among them.

It teaches them to utilize every stroke efficiently and gives swimmers a great feel for the water. In the past, every resistance tool was tedious to set up or change the resistance. All we could do was set it and hope for the best.<\/p>\n<p>The X1-PRO is so easy to change your resistance, you can literally adjust it every 25, unlocking a whole new avenue of training. Imagine doing 4x25s sprint with slightly more resistance with each 25 to teach sprinters how to build their 100?<\/p>\n<p>And the bi-directional ability is truly unique. I can do the same with my endurance crew. Start at a high resistance and gradually come down over 1000 yards or so, keeping them mentally engaged and trying to get their tempos up as they progress through a simulated race.<\/p>\n<p>Another great use of the X1-PRO is to take advantage of an up-and-coming training method called post-activation potentiation (PAP). By swimming with resistance and then without it, the nerves are unlocked and more muscle recruitment can be obtained. This has been a staple in land sports, but difficult to accomplish in swimming, until now.<\/p>\n<p>And with the ease of transport and set-up taking less than three minutes, the X1-PRO can be set up in warmup pools right at a swim meet to let swimmers take advantage of PAP swimming!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>As a Swimmer<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In my youth, I was a record holding powerlifter, and a staple question all weightlifters know is \u201cHow much you bench, brah?\u201d Why don\u2019t we ever ask each other \u201cHow much you pull, brah?\u201d Before the X1-PRO, there was no good way to accurately compare how much a sprinter could pull.<\/p>\n<p>But, with a single twist of the dial, I can easily change my resistance and challenge myself to pull more weight. And the notches on the side let me keep accurate track of my ability and compare to other swimmers around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I can ask someone \u201cHow much you pull\u2026 brah!?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Karl Hamouche, M.D is the founder of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swimsmarttoday.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Swim Smart<\/a> and the author of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimsmarttoday.com\/products\/copy-of-the-biology-of-swimming-print\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Biology of Swimming<\/a>.
